How to Use This Avondale, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Avondale, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Avondale.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Avondale manifests as a quiet intersection of land and industry, defined by the steady, inland character of the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 1.7 miles northeast of Nanticoke, PA (from Nanticoke, PA: bearing 45°T), and is situated 5.5 miles west-southwest of Wilkes-Barre. The terrain here is shaped by the proximity of the Susquehanna River, which flows with a deliberate gravity only a mile away, and the nearby presence of Pinchot State Forest, which provides a vast, wooded buffer of green. To the west, the distant Pocono Mountains rise as a jagged, atmospheric silhouette against the horizon, anchoring the perspective of the region. The air carries a crisp, terrestrial clarity, particularly as the light shifts over the acreage, casting long, softening shadows across the fields and the nearby waters of Plymouth Reservoir.

Avondale maintains a rhythm dictated by the legacy of its labor and the persistent, industrious spirit that defines the Wyoming Valley. While the region is marked by an anthracite memory, the local economy has evolved, shifting its focus from the heavy extraction of the past to a more varied, contemporary pace of life. Residents move with a sense of purpose that reflects the weight of local history, yet the surroundings remain defined by the rugged beauty of the terrain, from the hidden cascade of Whirlpool Canyon Falls to the quiet, unyielding soil. In the daily commerce of the streets, one finds a stubborn, authentic resilience, a quality of existence that values the endurance of the land over the fleeting nature of modern convenience.
